Relive your Childhood this Holi and #KhulkeKheloHoli Friends

Holi with my Sunshine, Yesterday, today and forever #khulkeKheloholi

I am an astoundingly firm believer of staying firm on ones roots and nothing aids is stay more bonded to our very roots than it's festivals that remind us of our enriched culture and traditions... Agreed?

As festivals are also times to getting together with your family no matter which part of the world you are in otherwise...it multiplies the fun all the more...whether it is lighting diyas with everyone on Diwali, waiting for Moon Rise on Karvachauth, our festivals hold the most special part in our lives...

And like all of us have our personal favorites , my fav festival is connected to my free spirited flamboyant soul, and it is undoubtedly HOLI, the festival of colours ever since my childhood ❤️❤️

As I think of it, priceless memories keep flooding my heart about what great fun we had on the Holi...Being woken up by the priceless aroma of gujiyas from mom's kitchen...Mom first oiled our hair with her first trust, Parachute coconut oil... And than we, checking on our packets of colours, pichkaris and water balloons... Our girls gang soon collected and played Holi to our hearts content... No one was spared , friends , relatives and some times strangers too 😊😊 .... He ran home only when we got Hungary in between to gulp down a few Holi Delicacies and than attacked back with double the vigour, only to dance and take dips on the huge coloured water tanks..

Celebrations went on for hours and moms found it really difficult to identify their children as all of us were black and green and red from top to toe... Though drop dead tired the zeal never died until we were really hurled bck home!

No matter how dirty we were and how many days it would take for the colours to permanently go from our bodies , we were damn happy and satisfied.. Aaww! What great fun it was , marvellous day where nothing could drench our spirits to play Holi to our heart's contents👌👌

Unfortunately with every passing year I had seen the energy and interests of people dampening in Holi...This chars my soul even further that this is on account of very trifle reasons like protecting their skins or taking it as a leave to spend it on a weekend getaway!

C'mon guys, this is not done... #KhulkeKheloHoli yaar! It is fun and Mastii beyond compare... No matter what's your age...

Play Holi any encourage your kids to do the same as well, so that you pass on the right legacy of our rich culture to them too like the legacy of #ParachuteAdvansed that run across generations!!

As for me and my family, Holi is a religion and we love and immerse in every ounce of it's fun...till our hear and souls are immersed and satiated....No matter if we are keeping it dry this time, the Gulals are sure to do the trick :)
